TARYN CROSS - MISSION B

Summary Your next job is to jump to Beta and hit all nay points. A Captain Garrovick is missing, and Taryn requests that you also seek him out.
Payment 10,000 credits.
Requirements Hit all nay points in Beta and search for the lost Garrovick.
Opponents At Nav 3 in Beta you encounter Captain Garrovick (fanatical ace) who has gone mad as the result of something he's encountered. This mad-ness leads him to attack you mercilessly in his Centurion.
  • This sector is the easiest; just hit all the nay points. Garrovick will attack but is no match for a fully loaded Centurion. - "Havoc"
